Two new species, Alocasia evrardii and A. vietnamensis (Araceae, Colocasieae), are described and illustrated from Vietnam. Although A. evrardii was described previously by Gagnepain in 1942, also with a historical record from Cambodia, its name was not validly published. A key to the species of Alocasia in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam is provided.
